THE second cycle to work challenge in Denbighshire is drawing to a close.

The task to encourage workers in Rhyl and Prestatyn to leave their cars at home will end on Saturday.

Participants have covered 1,460 miles so far – that means they have cycled the equivalent of a trip to Athens including a couple of laps around the Acropolis. They have burnt 43,815 calories and saved 292kg of carbon emissions, according to Cycle Experience.

Bike Pick Up Day marks the end of the challenge and will be held this Saturday from 10am to 11.30am at Rhyl’s Community Fire Station.
